Auxiliary Power For V4 Or V5

1) my idea is to rename spetiol energy to (auxiliary power). Auxiliary power makes more sens to me than spetiol energy.


2) I would like to see a new option to add emergensy power option to all ships and stations this buttion would drain auxiliary power/speshal energy will adding up to 25% to shelds depinding on the leval of auxiliary power/speshal energy at time of usege.

100%

the first 1 is ok, id give it the thumbs up if it were to be implemented but tbh i wouldnt mind if it is not. its cool though.

the second one i dont fully understand. think the first part said you turn your special/ auxilliary energy into shield power but after that you got all wierd on me

In star terk in a fit you offin here ether the cap or 1st ofiser yells more power to the shelds.

I wonted to add this option to the game. The best whay i could come up with is to use the spetiol energy or if renamed auxiliary power to be derverted to the shelds timporaly.

That would be neat.

sounds like you should be playing bc, it would be cool, but not pratical in a rts based game, good for games like Bridge commander

If "special energy" would be renamed to "auxiliary power", I'd be happy. Sounds better to me.

But I don't think we need that special-shield-energy-feature. In my opinion FO is already complex / complicated enough - to better say: Everything's fine the way it is regarding the options you have to command your fleets.
And: There are some special-abilities coming up in V3 which are equal in their effect to your request, ewm.

But what about more formations? I'd like to see that... and I do know that this question is off-topic

Well, some abilities could use the spec energy gauge to represent the energy reserves...
